Hoosier County, Called Typical of U. S., Serves As Guinea Pig While Census Takers Practice

SAMPLE CENSUS—Union County, Indiana, is the quinea pig for the whole United States. The U.S. Census Bureau which will take the nation's census in 1950, is taking a trial and error census in Indiana. First to be visited by Mrs. Jeannette Handley, one of the enumera- * tors, is Mrs. Willard Montgomery, Liberty, and her two children, Marlisia (the baby) and Fred.

typical county in the U. S..A. The county has some 6000 residents. [t's chief town is Liberty, population, 1750. Other towns are Brownsville, (pop. 200} and West College Corner, (pop. 200). There is no startling change in Union County physically since 1940, when the last census was taken. Only the rich agricultural community: has gotten richer. Farm buildings have been improved, expensive machinery works fields, houses have modern gadgets. Biggest job enumerators have will be to determine whether enumerators themselves shall ask questions, get answers, or whether residents will fill in questionnaires, return them to census office. On Liberty's Main St. - walks Mrs. Margaret Brandenburg.
